[Http-crcsync] crcsync, Mozilla, GSoC and students

Hi everyone,

I have some students who are interested in doing HTTP delta encoding as 
a Summer of Code project with Mozilla. It seems like the no-brainer 
thing to do is to get them to get involved here and to write a Firefox 
patch or addon which talks to your server implementation. So I've asked 
them to modify their proposals to that end.

If anyone knowledgeable has information which they are all going to need 
on getting the current code working for browsing, and which would take 
them a few hours of research but you only five minutes to mention, 
please mention it :-) (E.g. something like the hypothetical "you don't 
need to compile all of Apache, just run this limited build command, then 
take this lib file here and drop it into that directory there on your 
Ubuntu install, and you should be good to go.")

Thanks for any help people can give,

Gerv
